4 REASONS WHY AFRICAN SPIRITUALITY IS GROWING IN POPULARITY
African spirituality has experienced a major resurgence throughout the African diaspora in recent years. While it is still considered taboo to some it is growing in popularity among others, particularly among millennials. In fact, there appears to be a growing trend of people from all walks of life returning to their traditional spiritual practices.
Millennials and younger generations are much less apprehensive about embracing the spirituality of their forefathers. This is in sharp contrast to previous generations who empathically shunned African spiritual systems and its derivatives. These systems were misconstrued as forms of witchcraft or black magic primarily because of the influence of European thought. But now more people throughout the African diaspora are starting to leave mainstream religious systems in favor of African spirituality.
